Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity"

Not On The List...(The
Groove-Yard of forgotten hits)

What can we say? They all made the it to Billboard's Top
Ten in 1996, but nobody (or very few people) ask to hear them
any more. You can change that! Vote, suggest or complain about
your favorite song from 1996 not being included on the PCM
List!

With The Macarena, Unbreak My Heart, Always Be My Baby and
that dang song from Titanic owning most of the airwaves, there
wasn't much more room for other other long-lasting pop hits.

Would you belive that The Beatle's Free as A Bird never got
a single request/suggestion/ vote for our Top Requested Songs
of 1996 list? The song was written by John Lennon in 1977-
Yoko and Paul decided that it could be finished and recorded
by the remaining Beatles.

Yoko said "It was all settled before then, I just used
that occasion to hand over the tapes personally to Paul. I
did not break up The Beatles, but I was there at the time,
you know? Now I'm in a position where I could bring them back
together and I would not want to hinder that. It was kind
of a situation given to me by fate."
